1004 North Curson Avenue
Hollywooa-46-California
Nov. 6. 1944.
Dear Dr Burleigh:
The top o* the morning to you and its hoping you en.ioyed
the ride to Kingston this morning, i.e. if it is a sunny crisp room after
a day of rain, such as we had yesterday. The past summer was the coolest
and foggiest summer in this state for many years and So. Calif, is in danger
of losing the reputation for a maximum of sun. Aitho I do not dislike t
the fogs here beacuse they are not as cold as the eastern fogs,, if long
continued they are not so good for the general health, so I did not make
a mistake by taking a trip to Canada where there was plenty of sunshine
and air from Lake Ontario.
My Dr. was so pleased to see me stand more erect-I practiced back strength-
ening exercises all summer, and while I may never be perfectly straight
at least will not be" bent double". After regaining the sleeping habit
I discontinued the tabs 10 days before leg^ving Napanee, the head noises
have abated somewhat.
1 am now taking prostigmin treatments in the hope that they will really
be beneficial to my hearing and stop the head noises* Dr Flint' s other
patients did not respond to the treatment -they were doubters. He said he c
^^ could not guarantee results and thatS;ould be an experiment only. I said '^
O.K. go ahead 1*11 be your guinea pig; this patient will respond^ for I do
not want to spend the remainder of my life listening to the roar of steam
engines in my head? That means 2 trips weekly to down town Los Angeles for
2 months. I left hoipe with a 6 month supply of vitamins and have enough
left to last me until Dec. 15, after which time 1*11 return to Hep-
tuna which requires but one capsule daily. I gave you a Heptuna box top.
I wonder if you were provoked because I did not copy the entire will
of Michael Davy. It covered 2 long pages in an immense book. There is a
long preamble of surplus wording-a half page- The real reason was-that I c
could not ad^'ust the book at a convenient angle at e(|ther the standing
desk nor seated at the lower one without straining my one good eye in such
a way that the eye balls would ache for several days thereafter-and Dr had
warned me to BE CAEEFUL, so I compromised by copying the names of the heirs.
Mrs Johnston said you copied the John Davy will at her house; however, if
you have mislaid it I will enclose a typed copy.
Mrs Mabel MacNaughton, who lives at Yellow Gables, Dundas Street, Napanee
was not at home when I called, so I did not have an opportunity to bring up
the subleot of the Perry lot in 3t John's '-Jenetery* 'Towe^-er, I left a copy
of Jemima Perry's obituary in the hope of stimulating her interest, as she
is a gr-gr-grand daughter of Jemima Perry. She likes to contact prominent
people and if it is not too late you might write or phone her or better still
call on her personally some time when you are in Napanee, advising her in
advance of your intended call. As she was born in Napanee she ought to know
of others who might be interested. She showed me a picture of gr-gr-aunt
Hannah Perry Aylsworth-her gr-grandmother. Edith Perry, who owns and lives
in the Anthony Perry homestead near Attlebor6^^'i5!ice a part of Rehoboth, bears
a strong resemblance to Hannah. Edith's parents were cousins; I have a -0=^
strong resemblance to Edith's mother and to other Massachusetts Perrys.
No womder the minister of the Congregational church in Attleboro v<fas surpris-
ed that I was from California. He said^*I thought you belonged to the Perrys
who live around here, you look like them."

Jemima d» in 1830-a monument was put up fir her-Robert d. in 1837;
Hannah Perry Davy d. in 1846, you know where those plots are in the cem-
tery. It is possible that Robert was buried between Jemima and Hannah
andtbhere may have been a marker for him that was removed when the stone
foundation and fence was built around the Davy plot, and never replace^,
as the space is rather narrow. I have a photo of Uncle Will Davy Jr.
standing by the Davy plot, which I judge was taken in 1860 when he was
-4;he^«^-age of 16.
I have delved into the maternal ancestry of Jemima Washburn Perry
fin§ that she has a very fine background thru the Johnson, Maury,
Rossiter, Gilbert, Kingsley, Gary , Granecamilies. The Washburns
have a fine background, but on account of) Simeon Washburn's father
ping from sight I do not know to which Washburn line she belongs,
ever she IS a Washburn a£ she continued the Washburn names in her
family. Her grandfather i?iaF^ave been killed by the Indians as he
born in the late 1600* s-they may have been drowned or gone to the
Indies. I would not be surprised if some of our missing links cou
found in the West Indies, because more colonists went there than c
Uew England, and many 1,000' s went there after the Rev. War.

Enclosed are 12 copies of Jemima' s obituary to give to possible subscribers
who may have forgotten they ever had a gr-gr-grandmother.
When I answer Mrs MacNaughton' s letter I will mention the cemetery fund,
leaving the explanation for YOU-something more for a busy man to think
about. The lazy ones are never asked to move ideas around in their upper
story.
"National History Magazine-Aug. 1943.
"Striking a snag is no longer considered a slang expression. "Every fam-
ily historian, whether amateur or professional, find that genealogical
snags abound, especially during the migratory years-1820-1850,"
"The value of Genealogical research is not just a matter of names, dates
and places. These are just the skeleton upon which to build the person-
al history, characteristics and achievements along with the sacrifices,
the trials and triumphs of those who have collectively preserved us a
nation."
One day when I was out with Jack and Helen Ham of Napanee, we drove thru
Bath, I took a snap of the Jeptha Hawley homestead, now owned by Babcock.
The location is verified by Canniff in his book on The Settlement of
Upper Canada.
Lot #11, now a part of Bath was sold by Geo. McGuiness to Fairfield.
Lot -^10, on which most of Bath is situated was occupied by John Davy,
Lot ^9, owned by James Johnson, father of Bill Johnson.
Lot ^8, owned by Jeptha Hawley.

History of the Settlement of Upper Canada, Wm« Canniff, T'.D. 1849.
Obituary of Jemitia Washburn, wife of Robert Perry, 3r, page, 666.
Perry — Died at Srnesttown Jan, 12, 1830 instant, Jemima wife of Robert
Perry Sr.and sister of the late Ebenezer Washburn, Usq. of Hallowell, in
her 76th year. Her remains were interred on Jan. 14th with every mark of
real but unostentatious grief and respect.
In the beginning of last November she was siezed with a distressing asth-
matic affection which finally terminated her life, and which she endured
with christian patience and resignation to the will of heaven.
Mrs Perry was born in Massachusetts and came with her husband and family to
Ontario, Canada, among its first settlers.
She has left an a-'^ed partner with whom she lived in conjugal union and
affection for 58 years, 7 children, a numerous train of grand children and
great grandchildren, a large circle of friends and acquaintenances. Her
loss is extensively felt. In the various relations of life as wife, mother,
wister, neighbor and a member of civil and christian society, her exemplary
conduct entitles her to the esteem of all who knew her."
Jemima Perry' s grave and monument are located on the south side of St.
John* 3 Cemetery at Bath, and north of the W.H.Davy plot.

WASHBimW FAMILY
^ Burke in his OOMIONS III pp.6El-2, says--
The Washburns were generation after generation of knightly degree previous
to the time of "Sdward T (1274-1307) aid ranked in -o int of descent with
most ancient families of the kingdom.
Washburns are of Norman descent, the founder having been knighted on the
battlefield by ^'illiam the Conqueror and endowed by him with the lands
and manors of ^reat and Little Washborne.

try to work the
In the 4 books consulted also a recent V/ashburn history in the Ilewberry
Library in Chicago there is no mention of Simeon in any way. anfl yet the
Washburn names have been repeated in the children of Simeon and Jemima.
At the N.li!. Histprical Library in Boston, in 1939, I did come across an
item relating to a John or Henry Washburn and 2 of his sons who dis-
appeared and were never heard of again, so were dropped from the records.
CHegret to say, my notebook was lost with important data)
Those Washburns may have been killed by the Indians, may have been drown-
ed or met some other fate. I have followed clues, but to no avail.
The dates given in that item led me to place him as the missing father of
Simeon. The Attleboro Library has no more information than the L..*^. Li-
brary-in fact not as much. The pictures in the Washburn book, show the
men to be better looking than the Perrys.
If you could contact a descendant of Sbenezer Washburn who settled in
Hallowell, you might find one who has kept a record of the Washburn ancest-
ors. Mrs Ethel Merritt, 113 Agnes Street, Oshawa, Ontario, is a descend-
ant of Ebenezer. She has an immense old Washburn bible, and has written
quite a story of the Washburns, but she has ignored dates,

Dear Dr. Burleigh: -
Indeed, I*ra glad you wrote when the spirit moved
you, for when those sweet spirits scurry away into hiding there's no
telling when they will re-appear.
I do not know when the second school house was built, but it was prior
to 1874 when I first went to the school. Tom Bain, who now lives in
Kingston ought to know. Perhaps Clara Davy JohnstonfMrs Geo. A
Johns ton\ might know. I might be able to get the information from some
former Bathites who live on the Pacific Coast.
Until the war is over, there is little or no use in trying to keep
up interest in the historical society, as is, but when the time is
right it may be a feasible plan to have an Improvement Sociarty and
have different separtments , like in other clubs; civic af fairs-history-
genaalogy- current events- literature ^;c. Suggest that every one write
an account of their ancestors and read it at the meetings. The more
ambitious ones will go to Kingston to look up more information. Give
each one something to do. Tell incidents of their ancestors- the past
is a background for the present and future. If the pre sentgene ration*-/
that is, my generation will not do it, then try to interest the younger
generation to do it. Mrs Herbert File a teacher in the Napanee High
School will be a great help to encourage the pupils in that direction.
As to ST'IUGS- well Dr I atararx have no patience with smugs either, and
you may be shocked to know that when I*m with a bunch of smugs I have
to control an impulse to let out an Indian war whoop. An alert sensit-
ive person feels penned in by such people. There is not much use in an
attempt to change them, they prefer to stay in their same old rut, es-
pecially those who have no children thinking it is no use. Some of the
most enthusiastic genealogy students I know have no descendants, but

that study and historioal societies bring them in contact with
broadrainded persons worth knowing and who are interested in other thinga-
and they do not neglect their homes either as some inveterate bridge play-
ers do. I do enjoy a game of Hummy, and if I thought I could learn to
play bridge with no more effort than :iummy takes, I'd learn, but too many
people take the game -*w^ seriously that I could never play well enough to
have an enjoyable game, so 1*11 stick to P.ummy and genealogy.
I was disappointed in not getting the information in Toronl^to about gb-
enezer Washburn. However I can get it by writing to Mrs Merritt,
113 Agnes St. Oshawa, Ontario. I will write what I have on a separate pape];|
His oldest sister married a Briggs of Rehoboth, 'lass, and A cousin in
that place who lives in the old Anthony Perry homestead , built prior
to his death in 1683, is an intimate friend of the Briggs family, when
I write her I will request her to ask if that family have kept a re-
cord by which means I may be able to trace Fbenezer' s father's ancestry.
I read in a book in the hist. soc. at Boston that a ?/ashburn and two of
his sons dropped out of the records and were never heard from which may
explain why Simeon's name does not appear in any of the Washburn books.
I have traced Sbenezar' s mother's ancestry in each of the lines^ of wbfcich
I will write a synopsis. Somehow I cannot find Llts Fred File's letter
with the record of Ilalchior and Rachel File. They are not in either of ray
files. Annoying-Isn' t it?. If Mrs Gait is a descendant of Ilalchior and
Rachel Janks File and can give me information about the ancestors of Joseph
Jenks U.E.L. I would be most grateful.
Did you know there is a town in No .Dakota named Burleigh?
I was so happy to-day to receive a letter from Hay Freeman. He has been
busy with military affairs end then his mother is still living and requires
'"" m much care. I wonder if Malachi File had more than one wife to bring all
I ^ those 25 sons into the world- perhaps there were twins and triplets. One
•H gofjny former pupils called on me in ^vToorhead. She had 14 children, the
"^"-^■ybungest 19 years at present-all living and her husband says they dO not
M^ regret it. some of the children are married and every Sunday there is a
^ gathering of the clan at the homestead. Mrs Burleigh and I would go crazy
i£ .H catering to a mob like that every "Sunday. They are farmers and they look
forward to that pleasure.
I had a copy made of the first Bath school-the Academy where the classics '
were taught- What a pity not to improve on the educational advantages
instead of letting them go to Ilapanee'.
Good luck to you and the family.
Very Sincerely Yours

The front hearth, o. . area
|n front of the fireplace, should
be of stone, tile or other durable
paterial laid on a bed of concrete,
forming the floor of the fireplace
Iself, is the back hearth which
Isually has an ash dump into the
lit below.
* * ♦
Ashes are removed from the
lit through a clean-out door in
he basement. In basementless
louses it is highly desirable to
Irovide for a clean-out door on the
ptside if the fireplace is on an
cterior wall.
Unless a metal heat circulator,
[•hich we will discuss later, is to
used, the fire chamber or walls
the fireplace should be of fire
tick laid in fhe clay. These sur-
pces are usually sloped to reflect
Bat into the room. The back
[all is often built vertical for the
|rst 12 inches and then sloped
prward.
Slightly above the fireplace
jening, the damper is installed.
|he damper consists basically of
metal frame with an adjustable
late which is controlled from the
(ont of the fireplace.
Not only does the damper permit
jntrol of the fire burning rate, it
tso helps to assure a properly
|roportioned fireplace. Floor
rafts can also be reduced and the
)use made easier to heat by clos-
^g the damper when the fireplace
not in use.
Just back of the the damper is
ie horizontal surface known as
le smoke shelf. It helps prevent
Dwndrafts from reaching the fire

PIONEERS OF PRINCE EDWAH.D.
Ebenezer Washburn.
Ebenezer Washburn was one of the Pioneers of Prince Edward County. He came
to Hallowell village about the time the Township of Hallowell was set apart from
the Townships of Sophiasburgh and Marysburgh by act of parliament, July 3rd, 1797.
He was bom at Attlebury, a town in the county of Bristol, I'lass., and when jnanHg:
a young man bought a farm of 100 acres of one Samuel Yeack, for 120 pounds in the
county of Worcester, Mass., not far from where his brother-in-law, Iw', Robert
Perry, owned a farm, probably at Charlton in the same county not far from Rutland
in 177^. By 1777 he had cleared I4 or 5 acres, had a horse, a small yoke of oxen
and 2 cows, and had paid for his land in cattle. The Revolutionary War broke
out and Ebenezer joined General Burgoyne's forces in 1777. He was taken prisoner,
probably at the surrender of Burgoyne's army at Saratoga, October I8, 1777, to
General Gates. He was confined in several gaols but managed to escape to Lower
Canada, where he was attached to Major Jessup's corps in 1778 as sergeant, and
remained with that corps till discharged. He was at Yamaska in the winter of
1783-Ii and when the U. E. Loyalists gathered at Sorel, began the trek to the Bay
of Quint e in the spring of 17814., he was among them and probably took with him a
c^^^yy,cx. Miss DeForest as wife. He drew his allotment in FredericJi^urgh where he stayed
till his removal to Hallo^^rell, Prom the second report of tne Bureau of Archives
for the Province of Ontario, I90U, page lOlU it is evident that he made claim
from the government for compensation for loss of his property xvhich was left is
in care of his brother-in-law, I^. Robert Perry, and which, along with Perry's
property was confiscated \f^ the rebel party, Robert Perry was the son of David
Perry of Massachusetts, and a pioneer Methodist preacher. Robert Perry attested
to these facts in Washburn's claim papers for compensation. Perhaps there was
some connection between Ms choosing a location in Hallowell and the fact that
Hallowell was named in honor of Benjamin Hallowell who, during the agitation in
Massachusetts between 1765 and 1775 was controller of customs at Boston and had
much to do with the riots that preceded the celebrated "Boston Tea Party" that
began the outbreak of real war between the colonists and Britain,
Hallowell was surveyed and laid out by Surveyor-General William Smith 17 87-8
and opened at once for settlement. Ebenezer Washburn's farm lay next west of the
Johnson lot and included the comer where E. M. Young's law office and other
buildings now are. At this comer he had a store where he sold goods required
by the rapidly increasing settlers and purchased what they had to sell. In a
record of a transaction between Ebenezer Washburn and a customer — in possession
of the editor of The Times some time since, the i^j^iter noticed an agreement to
deliver fence rails and cordwood at a dock or wharf — probably one from the shore
of the MacDougal lot on east side of bay — the cribs of which beneath the surface
of the water may yet be seen, and at which the early steamboats called. The
article written for The Times by lir. F. H. Dobbin of Peterborough, and appearing
Jan, 25th, 1923, very deftly refers to the items contained in an old account
book once belonging to James Cummings who kept a store at Halloi^rell village
during and after the VJar of I8l2, conveys a very good description of the sort of
business done in those days. James Cummings was one of the local agents employed
by Captain Robert Wilkins to purchase provisions for the troops gathered at
Kingston hurriedly at the outbreak of War I8l2 before supplies could be obtained
from military headciuarters. Captain Wilkins ^?n!ff?™n:«3^xMWBBj was commissioned to
purchase and transport provisions and supplies of forage and things needed for
the forces to Kingston, and given authority to impress men, horses, wagons and
boats wherever found to be needed for purchasing and transporting supplies of
flour, pork, hay, grain and other necessities for the immediate need of the
assembling nucleus of the amiy, which kept the country of the Bay district and
the St. Lawrence free from American invasion during the war. Ebenezer Washburn
and Richard Glute were able to assist in collecting mush needed provisions from
the rich agricultural districts about Bloomfield and Wellington occupied by the
Quakers who were non-combatants. In this article Mr. Dobbin mentions Widow

Adams as one of Mr. Ciunmlngs' customers. Widow Mams was the second daughter of
Ebenezer Washburn and the widow of Eliphalet Adams who, at the time of his death,
owned a farm at the Stone idlls, the mills and Adolphustovjn ferry. It passed to
him from the estate of ^"iajor Vanalstine. He was a prosperous timber merchant
who purchased and rafted timber to Qaebec for the British and European markets.
He died fratn pneumonia, contracted through a severe cold on a rafting expedition
to Qaebec, shortly after his return to his home at the mills. He was buried at
the Johnson burying ground at a spot near where some marble slabs still mark the
resting place of members of the Larkin family. The writer located the place in
the summer of I878 from directions given by Mrs, Hannah Vance and Mrs, Mary Ann
Minaker, daughters pf Eliphalet Adams and grand-aunt and grandmother respect-
ively of the tn^iter, who spent a most interesting day with the old lady sisters
while they conversed mostly about the people and neighborhood of Picton and the
"Stone Mills," Ebenezer Washburn married fcr* a second wife a governess of a
family of one of the Provincial Governors of Upper Canada whose dower was given
her in bright yellow gold pieces from the British mint — and materially aided her
in becoming popular with the people of Picton and the Bay district. He died in
the early 30s, leaving his family well situated financially and socially.
The children of Ebenezer Washburn were William, Simeon, Hannah, Deborah,
Mary and Sarah,
WILLIAM married but left a small family after his death in early life,
which became scattered and little is known of them,
SIMEON evidently received a good education for those days and became a
partner in the store and was appointed to the Legislative Council of Upper
Canada, and finally was Judge of the Surrogate Court for the Prince Edward County
and district. He raarraed Deborah Trumpour, daughter of Paul Tpumpour of Adol-
phustown, a U, E. Loyalist of Huguenot descent, and with many of the families
of Adolphustown and Fredericksburgh was of the Dutch Reformed Church, whose
creed was in most respects in accord with that of the Presbyterians. The want
felt for religious instruction led to the sending to Canada of Sev. Robert tlc-
Dowell of the Dutch Reformed Church of Philadelphia, who was ordained a minister
about 1780 and came to the Bay of (^nte about I800, and accepted a call to
Adolphustown in preference to Elizabethtown in Qrenville coimty as a missionary.
He afterwards became attached to the Presbyterian church and was the first mini-
ster permitted to marry besides the Anglican and Roman Catholic clergy in the Bay
townships. He probably married more of the fathers and mothers of these dist-
ricts than any other clergyman of his day. He married Hannah Washburn, daughter
of Ebenezer, and sister of Simeon V/ashbum. Simeon left one son, Paul E., who
inherited the store and beside was a nagidtrate and coroner for the county, and
did considerable conveyancing and acted in many official capacities.
Rev. Robert MacDowell left a son, Mr. Robert MacDowell Jr., and a daughter
Sarah who married a Mr. Demorest, probably a relative of Gwilliam Demorest,
founder of Demorestville. A sister of Rev. MacDowell married Colonel Fitzgibbon
whose surprise and defeat of the iknericans at Stoney Ci^ek made him famous there-
after.
The marriage of Simeon Washburn to Deborah Trumnour connected the Washburn
family with James Cumraings the merchant of Halloi^jell, whose wife was a sister of
Oeborah IVurapour, TJhile a sister, Catherine Trumpour married John McQiiaig, father
of James S. McQaaig. Thus we see these pioneer families afterwards leaders in
business and political affairs of the Bay tovmships vrere closely allied xsadsssjsx
bsSlS by family relationships as well. The Trumpours and Dorlands and Roblins
intermarried, also extending this relationship very largely.

CANADIAN HANDICRAFTS NEEDED
A visit to stores and tourist resorts reveals that there
is a distinct shortage of made-in-Canada souvenirs aild
handicrafts. Too often, such items carry the imprint,
"made in Japan", or some other country than Canada.
Too, many, if not most, of them are not typical of the
area in which they are being sold.
Why should local post cards and souvenirs feature
mountains or the famed R.C.M.P., and such?
For a long time there has been need of some pro-
motion which will encourage Canadians and our indus-
tries to produce souvenirs and handicrafts that are typ-
ically Canadian.
Thus, The Gazette is happy to learn that the On-
tario Government, (according to an announcement of
Premier John Robarts), next Spring will sponsor an ex-
hibition of made-in-Ontario tourist souvenirs and handi-
crafts.
The province will also hold a competition, open to
both professional and amateur artists and designers, to
encourage the production of new souvenirs characteris-
tic of the province.

winter of 1783 and 1784 re-building
Fort Frontenac in preparation for
settlement, thus becoming the first
Loyalists in the area; The King's
Loyal Americans; The Queen's Loyal
Rangers; Capt. Samuel McKay's Loy-
al Volunteers; Butler's Rangers; and
other smaller companies.
Another map shows where the 200,-
000 Loyalists who fled the United
States and came to Canada, settled:
50,000 to the Maritimes and Quebec,
20,000 to Ontario. Others went back
home to England or to the British
West Indies.
Another map shows the journey
made by batteaux by the UEL's told
in a diary kept by the party. Excerpts
from this diary are quoted in the dis-
play to trace the trip. The party was
composed of 30 soldiers, eight wo-
men, six children, 20 crewmen (four
oarsmen and one steersman for each
batteau) and a chief guide, a total
of 65. There is also an exact model
of a batteau on display.
A third map indicates how the lands
were allotted and the townships set-
tled. It is interesting to note that
the high rocky cliffs along the St.
Lawrence River from Brockville to
Kingston were not considered suit-
able for settlement and no land was
allotted or township surveyed be-
tween Elizabethtown Township and
Kingston Town.ship.
The information contained on the
maps and accompanying legends was
compiled by Dr. H. C. Burleigh, o^
Bath, genealogist of the Associatii
and is the result of many yeai;;
research by Dr. Burleigh

unostentatious grief and respeet.
In the beginning of last November ahe was siezed with a distressing astt-
raatic affection whioh finally terminated her life, and which she endured
with christian patience and resignation to the will of heaven.
Mrs Perry was born in Massachusetts and came with her husband and family to
Ontario, Canada, among its first settlers.
She has left an aged partner with whom she lived in conjugal union and .,
affection for 58 years, 7 children, a numerous train of grandchildren and
great grandchildren, a large circle of friends and acquaintenances. Her
loss is expensively felt. ^In the various relations of life as a wife,
mother, sister, neighbor and a member of civil and christian society, her
exemplary conduct entitles her to the esteem of all who Imew her."
Jemima Perry* s grave and monument are located on the south side of 3t
John's Cemetery at Bath, and north of the W.H.Davy plot.

A few days ago I was looking at some kodak pictures I had taken of the
Jemima Perry lot and the Davy plot and noticed the latter covered more g
ground than the former. Believe me, I felt rather cheap to think I had
the nerve to suggest that the other Perry descendants contribut^he
greater part towards tlie bond. The only excuse I have, is that *I was
"so blind in one eye that I couldn't see out of the other" (quoting an
old saying)
?eter-you were keen enough to see my mistake-why didn't you call my
attention to it? Don't be afraid of offending me. I'm always grateful
when some sets me on the right track. After all the knocks I've had from
those who have since passed out of this world my hide is tough.
Sometimes we look so intently at things close' to us that we really do not
see them in the right light.
I have an idea that Robert Perry Sr. bought a large lot in St John's Cem.
A3 you know only 2 graves have Perry markersRobert died in 1837 and his
wife in 1830-no marker for Robert and I am wondering if he was buried
under the chancel with other U.E.L's, altho he was not in sympathy with the
doctrines of the Anglican Church.
^

grandmother Hannah Perry Davy was a grand daughter of Jemima and Rob-
ert, and when she died in 1846 it is not improbable that grandfather W.H
Davy Sr. either bought the unused portion of the lot firom the Perry family
or had permission to use it, as has been done in other families among our
relatives in other parts of the country. In that case the Perry-Davy lots
can be classed as one lot and one bond will be sufficient to care for both.
I have received llO.OO from a cousin in Vancouver, but no replies to other
letters so I am not wasting any more time, their contributions may come later
When the Cemetery committee geta busy stirring up community interest in c ,
contributing to bonda theointerest of which will pay for permanent care
I will send money for a bond to fctafce care of the Perry -Davy lot.
In 1939 I gave Mr Walker 2 or 3 dollars, and $3.00 in 1942 and left
llO.OO last year J and just before I arrived in Bath a path was cut by
the lawn mower to enable me to get to the graves without wading thru .
grass knee high. The excuse was no available men for the work-but
"where there's a will, there's a way" Civic pride is very scarce in Bath.
With the close of the war and many men released from the war plants,
there ought to be at least one or two elderly men who are able to do
the work of keeping up the 2 ceneteries-that is, if these men return to -Sa>
Bath. I will not repeat the suggestions in my former letter, and I
Charity begins at home-Bath can discontinue Red Criss work for awhile
and get busy with plans to take care of the cemetery, then instead of
outsiders saying "Poor old Bath is a dead town" "What kind of people
live there that they allow their churchyards to be neglected" I heard
those remarks and many more about Bath, enough to make any self re-
specting village sit up and take notice and make efforts to better
conditions, thereby gaining a better reputation.
I spent several days in Kingston on 2 occasions, there and on trains
every one I met and talked to had either been in Bath or driven thru.

A Ohicago friend sent me the enclosed page telling about t
the U.E .Historic Gen. 3oc. and as I have a duplicate I am sending the
extra one to you, I have "been there se^-eral tirreo. In the necon-^ col -
BffiS reference is made to 2i chard LeBaron 3ovien. H® sent the records to ^^_
to the If.S. Hist. and Gen. Hegister in 1940-41-42. I read them and the ^n-
only Perry name mentioned is that of Nathaniel Perry and no mention of the
other names in which we would be interested. Anthony Perry died in 1683 a
most of the records were of a later date. They would be of interest to
others. Hichard LeBaron Bowen is no doubt, a desc. of Dr. Francis Le
Baron a surgeon on a French privateer, and wrecked in Buzzard* s Bay.
He died at the early age of 36 in 1704. The inscription is still clear on
his tombstone at Burial Hill, Plymouth.
I found a record in one of the ^ridgewater books of a Simeon Washburn who
married in 1802 and an "T)enezer who married in 1811, but that is all, they
probably were descendants of one of Simeon* s children; no mention of t
a Simeon in any Washburn history.
Several years ago when I gave you some photos of early day Bath persons
you wondered how to arrange them. I have my mother* s album, which of
course is large and heavy, those photos were taken from it-my sister gave
the album to me afterwards. After my San Diego cousin died, 2 more al-
bums were sent to me. Those are of a later date and have pages for cabinet
photos. You and Wanda may be driving out this way in the near future-
only a little ride of nearly 3,000 miles- and if you can use the first men-
tioned album, I* 11 be glad to give it to you or the others if you prefer.
Of course you are busy winding up the war business. My daughter writes that
it is good to s e the big smiles on the boys* faces when she signs their
clearance papers-those with shirts covered with ribbons, battle stars and
purple hearts. They all are anxious to make tracks for home.
There are some other items about which I intended writing you, but for the
time being they have "gone with the wind" my head has been filled with so
many thoughts-too many without laotea being made. "And still they gazed,
and still the wonder grew that one small head could carry all he knew"

climate towards the year end,
Ontario's trade, industry and
tourism thermostat was turned
up fairly high during 1974.
Noting some highlights from
the Ministry's annual Ontario
Industry, Trade and Tourism
Review, Claude Bennett, Minis-
ter, reports last year's Gross
Provincial Product increased to
$57 billion, representing a real
growth over the previous year
of about 4.2 per cent.
As a result of international
inflation and increased oil
prices, the implicit price index
rose 13.1 per cent in 1974
compared with 7.6 per cent in
1973 -the highest increase in a
single year since the second
world war.
Minister reports employment
rose faster than average during
the year: 153,000 jobs were
created. On the negative side,
though, the unemployment rate
remained about the same as
1973.
During the year, demand
weakened in foreign markets
for many of Ontario's exports
and in major sectors of domestic
expenditure such as outlays for
new housing, automobiles and
consumer durables. By con-
trast, demand for imported
goods remained relatively
strong. Ontario imports rose
from $9.6 billion in 1974, an
increase of $1.7 billion
or 17.7 per cent.
nomic prosperity largely de-
pends on how much it can
market abroad, Mr. Bennett
observes that 23 per cent of the
province's 1974 GPP was
exported. Ontario exports total-
led $12.4 billion, a rise of 13 per
cent in dollar terms over 1973
value.
During the 10-year period
1965 to 1974, Ontario exports
have increased in value by 353
per cent and have significantly
shifted composition. Primary
commodities have declined in
importance (from 29 per cent of
the total in 1965 to 14 per cent
in 1974) while manufactured
goods have grown to represent
over 60 per cent of the total.

Mr. H. C, Burleigh
Bath
Ontario, Canada
Dear Mr, Burleigh:;
Thank you so imich for your letter of last l&rch, addressed to me in care of the
Hartford Times concerning the family of Simeon Washburn, I did not receive the
letter until the latter part of ?feiy and have been rather busy since then, es-
pecially since we have a new baby in our house.
I have been searching for some Washburn ancestors and have collected so many notes
on the Washbums that I have tided to compile into families all that I have found.
The Simeon Washburn family is one that I have been unable to place.
We are confident that our own Washbums are of the Biidgewater line, but cannot
find the necessary information to take them on back fromthe Connecticut claim of
Pennsylvania to connect them definitely with the New England families.
If I ever do come across data that shows the ancestry of Si^ieon Washburn, ^ shall
be sure to send it to you, and again I thank you for sending the complete list
of children of Simeon and Jemima*
The on3;y possibility that I have of the parentage of Simeon would be James Wash-
burn, b« Bridgewater, Mass,, 6 October I698, d. Taunton, Mass., 4 August 1741«
He m, in Bridgewater, 23 November, 1720, Elizabeth Leonard, She married secondly,
20 August 1753, Joseph Grossman and d, 14 October 1782, After her marriage to
Grossman, they moved to East on. Mass, Children of James and Elizabeth werer
Reuben; Simeonj Ebenezer; Jonah, b, 16 February 1733, Middleboro, m, Huldah Sears;
and Mary,
The o^y name similar in the two families is Ebenezer, I do not haife any data on
this Simeon to find out what happened to him.
Sincerely yours,
Warren M, Packer

Dear Dr Burleigh:
Home at last, and feeling "fit as a fiddle"My fajnily
and friends say the trip was a real tonic and that I ought to go again.
Much credit is due to the fresh vegetables that Mrs Rose brought from
the neighbpring gardens, most of which I ate in the raw state thereby
getting the full benefit of all the minerals and vitamins, also sauce
made from the apples on the tree by my window of which I ate gallons.
When I returned to the Paisley House in Napanee Mr Kirkpatrick remarked
"You are looking fine. What have they been feeding you in Bath"?
My reply-" Lots of fresh vegetables and quantities of applesauce".
Being among congenial people and doing things I enjoyed were also im-
portant factors. Uo plans for next year-if conditions are favorable
I'd like to go to the New England states again-if otherwise, I can keep
myself busy in ray own back yard and be thankful I have one.
While in Napanee I went to the library again and told the librarian
that Mr Herrington had given me permission to browse around the Histor-
ical Society. She gave me the keys and sent 2 children to show me the
way. (the other librarian I contacted in July was a substitute)
There is plenty of good material to make an attractive exhibit, butl
it has been neglected so long and looked so desolate that I almost had
a fit of the heebie-jeebies. Card tables and chairs were piled high
in front of cases of manuscripts, newspapers, documents etc, also in
front of book cases . No use talking to people about it until after
the war has ended, so I said nothing, but were I in Napanee for a month
or two I'd ask permission to restore the room to what it ought to be.
I fel^ the same way when I saw the exhibits in Murney Tower in Kingston.
There are plenty of fine inboth' towns who have time-surely there ought
^
^
The first were developed in Hapanee and I -jvuited until
V lack of public spirit
to be some way to jolt them out of their lethargy or indifference or .
^^ whatever it is • Perhaps they are waiting for a leader, but a leader
needs co-operation and help. Many changes are coraing-perhaps more in-
terest in historical Societies and museums will be among them.
The kodak pictures turned out pretty good, I am sorry I did not think
to take dear little Cynthia* s picture when she was flourishing the dust-
er and wearing a big apron. Had she been out in the yard with us T wouafe
have thoue-ht of it. The next time I come to Bath we will make up for
lost time.
I reached California to have the larger size made, Ray has asked me twice
to send him one of You and Mrs B, so I sent him one, He would not wait
until you could do it. Now you will receive one I snapped of him.
In his last letter he was awaiting a reply from Brookline Mass, that he
hoped would solve the ancestry problem of William Rogers of Saratoga,
I do not share his idea that much has been written of William, I wrote
him thit I was tired of going on trails, that led to dead-end streets^ and
had decided to let William of Saratoga requiescat in pace. During the
Rev. War period there was so much resentment in families over differ-
ences of opinion that I am sure many names were struck from the family
records and other records.
Congregational Church mar. rec. in Connecticut prior to 1800 it was stat-
ed that 34 churches reported their records had been either burned, lost,
missing, or no records had been kept prior to 1800, 1820,1840, No doubt
similar conditions prevailed in other states. In Chicago and St Paul
I read about the loyalists in Virginia and lorth Carolina and was so
worked up over the revengeful acts of both sides that I had to stop,
and wondered ^JvHY dissolute leaders are allowed to dictate misery for the
people, I came across the books when I was ^on a Davy search for Harry
M Davy of Toronto. You know all the Loyalists did not go to Canada.
Many l,000»s went to the southern states. West Indies, Sngland, and in
In the preface to 6 small vols ofearly
^
the early colonial days more British emigrants
went to the West Indies than oame to ITew "HJngland. I wonder if that is
where some of our missing links have gone.
In the Gen. page of the j^artford Times of July, 25, paragraph a-653, is
a statement that Mrs Apphia Freeman was the 3rd wife of Thomas Prenoe,
Apphia is such an uncommon name that I hare been wondering if there was
a relationship between her and Apphia Randolph,
i-^The IT. Y. Colony before 1783 consisted of only 10 counties. All wills
were recorded in A;bany, All wills for the entire N.Y.Colony are now

ter St. Hew York City. Some early wills and deeds at Jamaica and 3

In a couple of weeks or so I hope to copy the Davy and Aylsworth-Perry
data for you.

of her children-T'rs Clara Stewart of Ottawa, who is alm.ost blind from-
cataraets on her eyes. (I could have had them too, but I told my Dr, his
life wouldn' t be worth 2 cents if he neglected to tell me when there was
any sign of cataractsO I got busy and so did he. Before T left for the
east last year he inform.ed me that ray eyes were clear. It the same time
I have not relaxed my efforts, and take electrical treatm.ents (eye) soyou
see things CAN BE DONE with effort.

of his daughter Fann^.
Grandpa Davy's bible has l) en r^iven to me because no one else wanted it.
It was edited in 1833 , and has a very comprehensine-e index.
In the Family Record is this entry -"Hannah Minerva TSavy, wife of '."/illiam
IT Davy died on Saturday morning, June, 13, 1846, at half past two o'clock,"
also their v-edding entry-
William Henry Davy was married at ''^'hitby, Upper Canada to Hannah TTinerva
Perry on 25th pf Jan' y in the year of our Lord 1840 by the "Rev. Thomas
Smith Kennedy, clergyman of Darlington."
When you find the type written Davy lineage that David sent me and which
I loaned you, you will see where he placed the lines and which include

If you are interested I will send you a more detailed account.
I discontinued my subscription to the Hartford Times a year ago, as ^hexe
was little of interest for me. However, some day when at the I'ibrarv i will
ask for the Gen. sheets for the ^oast 8 months.
I was at the library last Friday for SIX hours the longest time since my ac-
cident in Dec. 1940, and I'm still tired.
On account of so many things needing attention in and around the home T may
not go again for several weeks. A few Bath persons might be surprised to
know that I am really interested in a home, I've found that persons who are
interested in ^feaealogy are also interested in their homes, but are broad
minded enough to be interested in other subjects. 'Genealogy is family re-
search, ,
Best wishes for GOOD WOK for you in all things

KINGSLSY GEUTEALOGY by Le Roy Brown M.D. St Paul, Kinne3ota-1907.
Origin of family and name of Kingsley,
Tradition says that as William II of England or ^'"illiam Ruffuf TRed Zing )
WAS HTT1ITI13G IIJ THE ;New Forest, he became separated from his compan-
ions and attendants, and wandering through the forest became hopeless-
ly lost.
Just as night was closing in he espied a light gleaming from a yeoman' s
cabin in the confines of the forest. He begged shelter for the night
without making his identity known. He was kindly received.
The yeoman slaughtered a young goat which the good wife prepared along
with other viands.
The hungry king greatly enjoyed the repast then slept soundly in the
I Iiiyl)cslii4i^l^ P44^ humble bed provided for him; on awakening a bounteous break-
fast awaited him.
After breakfast he discovered he was in his own meadow or lea, as it was
called in old England. He was so delighted with the hospitality he re-
ceived that he bestowed the whole of that portion of his domain, known
as the Zing' s Lea upon his host and made him a Baron.
The recipient took the name of the land Kyngesleighfor Kingsley) and the
family crest or coat-of-arms contains the Eing' s Crown surmounted b,7 a
goat' s head.
VOL. VI American Ancestry-p. 207.
John Kingsley, "Horchester, Mass. born at Hampshire England, emigrated to
Taunton, Mass.

Depr Dr Burleigh:
I hpA'-ent the copy of the Hertford Times here of
May 22 tut I wrote lire Benn who runs the Geneelogicel
column of the Timee, for the address of the one
who was collecting data of early settlers of Ontario
referred to, and she £-ent me your address.
One can get the i^d dress of any correspondent of the
Times from Mrs Benn "by sending a stamped envelope
for a reply, as you pro'catly laiow , It is a little
quicker in this way, to get in touch with the one
desired, than it would "be ty sending it through the
columns of the Transcript, and typographical errors
are not as liatle to occur.
Thank you for writing me.
Sincerely 3' ours.

Dear Mr .Burleigh,
Thank you for the information on the
Gary -Washburn lines. I expect to he in Boston on
Friday, Oct. 2nd. and will see what I can find on the|
Simeon V/ashhurn name at the New England Hist. &
G-en. Society. I have been a member there for some
time but have never yet been to their Library .Th^y
should have something there on SiT.eon.
These are not my own lines. I have been
looking them up for a friend who is a Perry. I ani
a descendant of David*Perry (DavidPjJasiel^ Samuel^
Anthon/) through his dau. Margaret^and Christopher
French. Margaret was the sister of Robert^Perry
who married Jemima Washburn*
That is an interesting bit of business
with Ebenezer Wheelock. Said mother of Ebenezer
Waahbum must have been quite old in 1780 if she
was married the first time in 1720. It would be
of interest to know where she died in 1782.
(It seems collection fees ran high even in those
days . )
Is Bath anywhere near Toronto? I have
an old problem on my Fanning-Shuttleworth line in
New Market. Perhaps you can give me some idea of
ijow to approach it. I enclose a chart explaining
graphically my relation to the ^blem.
I will write a^ain next week after my trip
to Boston.
Sincerely,
